26Anti-religion T-Shirt idea
by Simon ini want a t-shirt.
something that says "religion is crap, i don't care which one".. i was thinking of adapting the "coexist" one to say "toxic" instead which is great because it removes 'science' but includes all the major world religions.. anyone else have any ideas?.
also a tag-line ... "whatever god you worship, he's a weirdigan".

Is it not a criminal offence to know about a crime and not report it to the police / Law /authorities ?
If so , how , have at least 3018 Elders in Australia not been prosecuted for not reporting these crimes against children ? These past decades ?
I for one propose writing to the Australian newspapers a letter to the editor where you can voice your opinion on this matter.
If you are genuine about the Elders withholding this information of child abuse from the law enforcement authorities /police then please , contact the media in Australia with your concern , because it is only with media expose that anything constructive is ever done.
The Herald Sun , The AGE , The Sydney morning Herald ,The Courier Mail , The Advertiser ,to name a few .
The more people that respond to this the more action that can take place , the more impact we have .
Of course if everybody ignores it , then how genuine really are you in protecting youth in the JW religion against abuse .
You do not have to be a resident of Australia to voice your concern , so please do so .

In Exodus 32 Aaron made a Golden calf at the Jews request from the gold jewelry they had in their possession .
Did they use more common sense / ability than Jehovah ?
Problem 1 .Would the Egyptians have allowed them to flee with their valuable possessions ? ( side point )
Almighty God Jehovah ,who was described by the WT many years ago as the ultimate chemist ,wrote the ten commandments on two tablets of stone ? Something that could be so easily destroyed ?
He didn`t learn from his mistake he had Moses do the same thing.And it went off into destruction also
Problem 2 .He didn`t think to use his chemistry knowledge to form some alloy that would be indestructible ?
That would last indefinitely throughout time ? After all GOD did write it himself right ?
It would seem mere humans were way ahead of their creator in thinking ability here.
just saying

How awful it really is still living ? as a Jehovah`s Witness .
What with all these back-flips , flip flops ,nu-lite , old-lite ,rules & regulations not found in the Bible ,counting hours ,worshiping the new golden calf JW.ORG ,if Christians are worshiping the cross as a symbol of their religion then so are JW`s.

Maybe the victims , in these circumstances should make a civil complaint to the police about the Elders who never reported the case and have them charged with being an accessory after the fact So far no Elder`s have ever been accountable to the law for failing to do so

Making a vow like this to a Religious institution , surely has no legal obligations that could be enforced in a court of law .
Correct me if I am wrong.
I made a vow /a pledge when I was a pre-teen to a Congregationalist Church , not to drink , smoke , and to live a moral life from then on.
I`m pretty sure they can`t take me to court and sue me now ,(can they ? ) LOL
carla , their was something recently about that ,the word order ,and it`s legit. I was surprised also to know that.

Stop nit-picking , you know Jehovah`s heavenly forces used the Roman army to destroy Jerusalem and he will do so at Armageddon. (not the Roman army of course) or is it the earthly forces that cause the heavenly forces to act .
We will have to wait for nu-lite.
What I want to know is , whose face is that tied around his waistcoat ? ( Subliminal image ? )
Also, with the obvious problem Jehovah`s earthly organization, the WTB&TS , has with beards , how is it that the Heavenly organization from Jehovah God down , are all depicted with beards in all of their illustrations.?
